Original Viking

The Yamaha Viking series kicked off in 2014 with the 3-seat model, which quickly won wide acclaim. For 2015, Yamaha increased the seating capacity to 6 while maintaining all the features that made the original Viking popular.

Shoulder, leg and head room

In both the original Viking and he Viking VI, the middle seat is reclined 5 degrees. This provides more shoulder room, creating a more comfortable ride. What's more, the Viking VI has ample leg and head room in both the front and back seats.

Rugged tires, suspension

With a longer chassis to accommodate 6 people,Yamaha engineers made some adjustments to the design of the Viking VI. Specially designed tires, optimized for the Viking VI, and an ample suspension combine driver and rider comfort with off-road capability.
